GENEVA - The International Labor Organization (ILO) is to begin action against the Myanmar government amid concerns that has failed to adhere to any of its previous recommendations aimed at reducing the risks faced by the country’s workers, including the key garment manufacturing sector.
The ILO’s Commission of Inquiry called last year for the country’s military to cease violence, release detained unionists, restore civil rights, and end forced labour practices after it found that government had severely restricted civil liberties and trade union rights.
